Dude's gonna regret this. Not our "Dude", but Brock. It's still relatively rare to be a D-1 athlete in basketball. I wish him well in his studies, though. He gets a free ride with a basketball scholarship or the G.I. bill and that probably factored into his decision.

He was going to be fun to watch - except for two times a year against us. He did so much to get eligible to play it is a bit unexpected he is now not playing going forward plus he was making a significant contribution out there. Even still, seems like a good kid, and of course gets my utmost respect for serving our country.

I think they still are. Clark was phased out as the year went on, although Brock is a big loss.

Kampe is not afraid to overload guys with minutes -- I think you'll see Walker / Nunn / Hayes each play 32+ mins per game. The remainder will get taken by Nick Daniels, perhaps some Neely, and any of their host of warm bodies that are their big men. If one of their big 3 go down, then they certainly could face some trouble as their depth has gotten awfully thin with these 2 losses.

That's a huge fall for Clark, who was ranked the #68 player in the country as a high school senior. Couldn't stay out of trouble in OK State, was underwhelming at JUCO, and certainly a disappointment at Oakland.

Oakland just announced that Julius Palmer will be on the roster for the coming season. He's a JC transfer, 6-9, originally played at Detroit Western International with the Titans' McFolley and Blackshear. Modest stats last year in JC, six points and four rebounds.

In Greek mythology, the Titans were greater even than the gods. They ruled their universe with absolute power! Well that basketball court out there tonight, that's our universe. Let's rule it like Titans! (with apologies to coach boon)
